Fabulous! - Jeremy gave us a great introduction not only to the food of Lyon but also the history. We were pleasantly surprised to explore the taboules (covered passageways) and to learn about the silk industry. The vendors were excellent and all the food selections delicious. Great way to explore Lyon!

Food tour meets history - The food was great but so were all the stories. Bruno always had a bit of history to share as we walked the streets of Lyon. And we had a blast at the cheese shop…even visited it (again) later in the day. I would recommend this tour to whet your appetite in Lyon!

More history and less of a walking tour - So this tour was a bit of a disappointment. The guide was great and very knowledgeable. But unlike other food tours throughout Europe I left this tour hungry. The portions were very small and there really weren't too many places included. Everything on the tour is fairly "typical of lyon" and I didn't feel like there was any real insider knowledge needed. I was also disappointed at how much history was included in the tour and how little walking. You really don't see much of the city at all. It was perfectly fine just so different from other tours that I was disappointed.
